We Bought an Abandoned Sailboat for €1… 5 Years Later, We’re Still Fighting to Finish Her!

Five years ago, we bought Seabird, our Gulfstar 41 sailboat, for just €1 after she had been abandoned for 15 years. Since then, we’ve been slowly bringing this classic sailboat back to life through a full DIY restoration and refit. In this episode, we complete a major part of the galley rebuild. Progress has been slower lately following my cancer diagnosis, but we’re committed to finishing this project and getting Seabird back where she belongs: sailing. Join us as we tackle another milestone in our abandoned sailboat restoration and prove that small steps can still lead to big progress. 🌊 *Join our journey* as we restore Seabird from an abandoned sailboat to a home on the sea!
